Our Professional Porch Design & Construction Process

At Archadeck of Central Iowa, our customer service and craftsmanship are unrivaled in the industry. We follow our proven three-step Consult, Design, Build process to make sure we build the porch that’s just right for you.

We begin by asking questions and understanding how you want to use your space. This gives us what we need to make a design based on what you need and prefer. We’ll then use 3D design tools to walk you through the design before construction begins. So you can see exactly what you're getting and make adjustments in real time.

Once the design is wrapped up, our licensed and certified porch builders handle every detail of the construction, keeping you updated along the way.

After the porch is complete, a final follow-up inspection will be conducted to ensure everything is just right and code-compliant.

Choosing the Right Porch for Your Central Iowa Home

When it comes to choosing the right porch for your home, you have three options: open, screened, and covered. Here’s a breakdown of why you might choose one over the other.

The most important decision is choosing which porch type works best for you:

• Open porches – Open porches are a great way to receive protection from direct sunlight and rain. All without giving up the refreshing delight of unrestricted airflow. With a covered yet open porch, electric amenities such as fans and televisions can be enjoyed more safely than without covering.
• Screened porches – Screens provide many perks, including security, privacy, and pet safety. They also obstruct prying eyes and keep intruders away. During windstorms and rainy days, screens keep out large amounts of dust, debris, and water. They are also a great way to block out annoying mosquitoes, bugs, and insects.

If you want shade without being fully closed in, consider our custom pergola design and installation services instead. 

Backed by a brand that boasts 40 years of experience and 135,000 projects to its name. We're proud to be a member of North America’s largest deck and porch franchise network. Add to the fact that our designs are approved by structural engineers, and we offer the best warranties in our industry.

Discover the Benefits of Installing a Custom Porch

Installing a custom porch can significantly enhance your home's aesthetic appeal while providing a functional space for relaxation and entertainment. A beautiful porch can make all the difference in the overall look and feel of your property, adding character and charm to even the plainest of homes.

Additional advantages of a custom porch design include:

• Adding value. Adding a custom porch to your home can significantly increase the value of your property. Porches are highly sought after by homebuyers as they provide an additional functional living space that can be enjoyed year-round.
• Extending your living space. Another key benefit of a custom porch is the extra functional living space it provides. You can use your porch as a comfortable spot to relax and unwind with a book, enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning, or even host summer barbecues and outdoor dinner parties.
• Customizable. Custom porches can be designed to seamlessly fit with the architectural features of your home and reflect your personal style preferences. This means you can create a porch that not only looks great but also adds a touch of personality to your home.
